15-second AI video via API: price on nine Sume model settings
A 15-second AI video via API runs from $0.19 on Grok Imagine to $21.32 on Seedance 2.5 at 1080p. One job each, priced from Sume's per-second rates.
Fifteen seconds is the longest single job most Sume video models take, so it is one API call on nine of the settings below. It costs $0.19 on Grok Imagine Video 1.5 and $21.32 on Seedance 2.5 at 1080p; Wan 3.0 at 480p is $0.94.
Each price is the per-second rate times 15, from the Video Router docs and API rate card. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 stops at 10 seconds, so it is not in the table.

Reading it
A price per job hides the retake rate. If a model needs three takes to produce one keeper, the effective cost is three times the figure above. Video generation needs a paid Sume plan, starting at $40 a month.
